Petey Williams has selected his partner to face ROH World Champion Austin Aries and Rhett Titus on September 18th in Dayton, and that man is Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana! Aries was stunned by the news, commenting, “I was sure Williams would have picked Tyler Bl ack. But no sweat, it didn’t matter who he picked, because the equation leads to the same solution: A Double, the MV3, hand held high in victory.” We are still awaiting a decision from ROH officials on Petey’s petition for a singles match against Aries.

Speaking of Tyler Black, he’s signed for a special challenge match in Dayton on September 18th. Black will face perhaps the most athletically gifted man ever to compete in Ring of Honor – Claudio Castagnoli! Castagnoli was happy to sign the contract, “When I finish off that buffoon Albright in Philadelphia, it’ll be an example to show Tyler what it means to ‘seal the deal’. I don’t choke, I’m Claudio Castagnoli, and I finish strong because I’m very European. And in Dayton, another inferior wrestler finds out first hand.”
